Fira is the capital town of Santorini and it’s the place with all the buzz and shops. This is a list of the best hotels in Fira Santorini. So…you are possibly looking for the best area to stay in Santorini and Fira capital town popped in, right? Or you are maybe wondering which one is a better place to stay: Fira or Oia ?

Even though Fira is the capital and the largest town of the island, there are some really impressive hotels with amazing views of the caldera and the volcano that won’t disappoint you. At Fira, you will literally have everything at your doorstep: bars, shops, restaurants, clubs, street food (aka souvlaki) and …lots of tourists, too unfortunately.

Or you can just stay at Imerovigli or Oia.

However, most of the hotels on my list are not disturbed by the people passing by, as most of them are very well protected and reclusive, hanging by the dramatic cliff or a bit furhter away from the main Fira street.
